Views sell properties and having a close-up of a world famous monument never fails to impress!
Featured in The Times article was Athenian Legacy, where from the large terrace of this villa, it seems like nothing sits between you and the birth of civilisation. The Acropolis is almost within touching distance, a piece of 5th-century BC antiquity presiding over the modern metropolis.
The ivy-clad property — priced at €9.5 million cuts quite a figure, with a fully renovated four-bedroom house of 435 sq m adorned with Greek-inspired artwork, antique furnishings, marble floors and traditional green window shutters, and an adjacent 257 sq m house in need of renovation.
From the roof terrace there are 360-degree views of the city. Despina Laou, head of the private office at Greece Sotheby's International Realty, says this unique location in the Makrygianni neighbourhood, close to the scenic Dionysiou Areopagitou street, “is profoundly interwoven with the city’s historical fabric, and the view it offers means the property commands a significant price premium”.
Despite the renown of its ancient neighbour, “the property enjoys a tranquil atmosphere with no significant presence of tourist crowds”, she adds.
